In assembling the complete bearing the several sections 1 of the body portion D of the cage and the rollers C of the bearing are arranged about the inner bearing member or coneA, and the sleeve 3 is then forced over said sections 1 and turned down at the ends to form the retaining flanges 5. Thereafter, the outer bearing member B is placed in position. A retaining ring or .(iange 8 formed integral v'vith the cone A acts to keep therollers and cage in operative position on said cone.

A roller bearing'oage of the construction above described is strong and light, and on accountlof its novel construction the cast metal portion of same is not liable to break or warp.

. Having thus described my invention, what claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

l.. A cage for roller bearings consisting of a east metal body portion of cylindrical or tubular shape, divided longitudinally into a plurality. of sections, and a smooth sheet metal sleeve surrounding. said body portion and acting to hold the sections of same together, seid body portion having roller-receiving 4openings and said sleeve also having openings or cut-out portions for the rollers.

2. A cage for roller bearings, consisting of a cast metal body ortion of cylindrical or tubular sliepen, divided .longitudinally into. a plurality of sections, a smooth sheet metal sleeve surrounding said body portion and acting to hold the sections. of same together, said body portion having roller-receiving openings Yand said sleeve also having openings or out-out portions for the rollers, and cooperating interlocking means on the longitudinal edges of vthe sections 'of said body portion.

3. A cage for roller bearings, consisting of a cast metal body portion of cylindrical or tubular shape, divided longitudinally into a plurality of sections, a smooth sheet metal sleeve surrounding said body portion and metal sleeve surrounding said body portion i and acting-toliold the sections of same together,` said body portion having' roller-receiving openings and said sleeve being provided at its ends with retaining flanges that lap over the ends ofthe sections oit said body ortionx 5. cagel for roller bearings, consisting of a cast metal body portion of cylindrical or tubular shape, divided longitudinally into a plurality of sections that are provided with; oqjperating interlocking means, and a sheet metal sleeve surrounding said body portion and `having its ends bent over the ends of said body ortion so as to penna nently combine said parts together, said body vportion and sleeve having alining longitudinally extending openings for receiving the rollers of the bearing.

In testimony whereof l hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
